The pressure of work means making time for exercise isn’t easy. But spinning plenty of plates (sometimes literally) doesn’t stop Dan Doherty, executive chef at London’s Duck and Waffle.

While skipping the occasional leg day is to be expected (we won’t tell) there are ways to squeeze more into your schedule.

“Try and use your commute as much as possible,” advises Doherty. “I take the long route to work and do a 10-15km fasted run before I get to the kitchen twice a week.” But what about minismising the time sink of meal prep? Not everyone has time to pack chicken into lunch boxes.

“Arla Protein Snack Pots give the perfect protein fix post-run before I start work,” says Doherty. “And with the other products in the range such as milkshakes and cottage cheese I can easily fuel my exercise and work throughout the day.”

Whether you’re standing on two feet or running on two feet, fitting in fitness around the busy life of a top chef is hungry work. Fuelling with Arla’s protein options makes every step to a better body easier.
